Big Match Breakdown: Manchester United v Newcastle United

Odds and preview ahead of Premier League clash

Both Manchester United and Newcastle United are in desperate need of three points today.

The Magpies may not have won a game so far this season, but Man United’s own wretched run leaves this more evenly matched than in previous years.

The Coral News Team take a look who might steal the headlines at Old Trafford.

Head-to-head

This fixture has screamed goals throughout the years. There have only been three nil-nil draws in fourteen years.

Newcastle beat the Red Devils 1-0 at St. James’ Park thanks to a Matt Ritchie strike last season. This was the game where Magpies stopper Martin Dubravka made his debut, making a string of impressive saves to keep the visitors out.

However, a look into the vault will see the duo’s tussles have been dominated by Man United. The Reds have won seven of the last ten meetings.

Likely XIs

Alexis Sanchez will hope to keep his place after another disappointing display against Valencia. Will he show a much-needed improvement?

Jesse Lingard, Ashley Young, Ander Herrera and Marcos Rojo are all doubts after missing the stalemate with Valencia in the Champions League.

Eric Bailly may come back in for Scott McTominay after being left out of the loss to West Ham United.

Marcus Rashford could make only his fourth start of the season alongside Romelu Lukaku in attack.

Salomon Rondon is injured, so Joselu may get the nod up-front for Newcastle.
